Defoe's finish came on the end of a brilliant delivery from James Tavernier as the ex-England, Sunderland and Tottenham legend coolly slotted home without hesitation. Watching the ball the whole way, Defoe instinctively struck first-time.
It was the hitman's 300th career goal and one of his best.
St Mirren midfielder Ethan Erhahon received 17 percent of the vote for an outstanding long-range effort against Aberdeen while Lewis Ferguson's first-time shot for the Dons against Hamilton Accies sealed third with 15 percent of the vote.
